Get rid of acne in one day, is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I'm really sorry your acne has been neglected up until now. You're old enough to write healthtap so you're old enough to take charge. If two weeks on topical benzoyl peroxide 5% 2x/day hasn't cleared you, or you have it on your trunk, pick up the phone and call your family physician. Prescription-strength rx's vary and you may try several, but we can control it until it self-cures.
